What happens when you can’t find Voodoo Lager to make a batch of Voodoo Shrimp? You grab a pint of Arrogant Bastard Ale! So here’s my arrogant shrimp with a side of rosemary cornbread ala House of Blues. Enjoy!

My friend, Georgia gave me a package of El Torito Sweet Corn Cakes mix, and I’ve got to tell you, it’s delicious! You can order a 12-pack online through Amazon.com. I added 1 1/2 tsp. of fresh chopped rosemary and a 14-oz can of creamed corn to mine.

Special thanks to FoodMayhem.com for this defrosting tip. “Place frozen shrimp in a bowl and cover with cold water. Shrimp will be ready to use in 3-15 minutes.” For this recipe, you will need 6 shrimp per serving.

You could fry the shrimp in a pan, but I like Ina Garten’s technique for roasted shrimp (directions below).

Your cornbread’s in the oven. Your shrimp is defrosting. Time to cook the brew!

Thanks for that, it was a great read. I can’t believe it myself, but my wife and I will have been married 10 years next month. We met in Italy, and we had the most delicious shrimp pasta in this little restaurant in Rome. I’ve been looking all over the internet for a good recipe to see if I can’t make something myself to surprise her, and I even found a shrimp pasta recipes website full of them! Thought you might like to know, you can find anything on the net nowadays it seems!
